The Schenectady Gazette printed a smear campaign on May 11 that outright lied to the public about the pro-crime failing bail reform and the people who spoke out against it in Albany on May 9 as we honored mothers of crime victims and gave them a voice.

Journalism should be regarded as an honorable profession and this display of journalistic malpractice on part of the Gazette Editorial Board is an embarrassment to real journalism.
